2007), hemoglobin A1c (Piette et al. 2006), poorer sexual functioning (Zamboni and Crawford 2007), nutritional risk among Black men (Locher et al. 2005) less stage 4 sleep (i.e., “deep,” or slow-wave sleep) and physical fatigue (Thomas et al. 2006). Longitudinal analyses of the large cohort of the BWHS have found a positive association between discrimination and the incidence of uterine myomas (fibroids) (Wise et al. 2007) and the incidence of breast cancer (Taylor et al. 2007). Other prospective analyses indicate that perceived discrimination predicts coronary artery calcification (Lewis et al. 2006) and changes in self-rated health (Schulz et al. 2006a).
